Re: Heresy

To me the logic would be that the fee would depend solely on the number of members of an organisation. You could argue that poorer countries should pay less per member, but we'll leave that discussion for another thread.

On the other hand it doesn't seem wholly fair to only look at the monetary ...

Re: Am I getting old? When did you feel yourself slow down?

My strength has leveled off an even been declining these last five years. Hard to say if age is a factor here. For me the main culprits are more work, getting married, having a kid and playing online poker.

The main factor is being obsessed about something if you want to improve and keep improving ...

Re: European Professional Go League

Being a pro should not be a honorary title. Being a pro just means that you are currently voting a Labor Party. Nothing very honorary there.

Re: Final Decision Dinerstein - van Zeijst

One thing that struck as being quite silly is Dinerstein complaint that a French referee cannot judgge impartially about a Dutchman as their countries are "too close together" . First of all their is a whole country inbetween(well, if you think of my country as a real country ), secondly it is not ...

Change back to GoDiscussions?

Don has transferred the history to Life in 19x19 and has said he is willing to transfer the domain name GoDiscusions. Personally I think GoDiscussions as a name is way clearer then Life in 19x19.
